Starting bee gardens and planting bee-friendly seeds wherever you can (provided they are not invasive to your area!)

But lots of seed companies offer “bee blends”, westcoastseeds offers seeds for this purpose. - Im sure similar wildflower mixes are available in different regions and countries.

I know this doesn’t eliminate pesticide use but every pesticide free patch of flowers helps
